- Chicago police confiscated 8,854 guns in 2021– about 24 per day.
- And they arrested 7,134 perpetrators for illegally possessing those guns– including Samuel R. Garcia, the adult son of Chicago mayoral candidate Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, who at the time lived and was registered to vote at the congressman’s home on 25th Street in the Little Village neighborhood.
- When U.S. Rep. Garcia talks about his plans to reduce gun violence in Chicago, he doesn’t acknowledge the recent arrest of Samuel, now 39, for felony unlawful use of a weapon.
